Experience of the stay
It is a 6-minute walk from JR Ueno Station’s ‘Iriya Exit’, but Ueno Station is quite large, so it feels far. There is a convenience store about 2 minutes away.
The room is bright with good indoor lighting, and there is a larger desk and a standing light provided from the beginning, making it easy to work. There is a bath and a kettle, so work can progress smoothly. There are no supplied coffee or similar items, so you need to bring your own. Although it is an accommodation modified from a condominium, the interior is clean. The bath is wide and deep, making it suitable for bath lovers. However, be careful as there is no hole to prevent water overflow, which could lead to flooding. It’s also nice to find a mobile phone charger available.
The hotel does not have a lounge or café, so I think it is best used as a base for exploring Asakusa and Ueno.
Experiences during the trip
I booked this accommodation to visit Senso-ji Temple on the 9th and 10th of July, which is the auspicious day of Shimanrokujūnichi. It is said that the Kannon deity descends on these dates, so I wanted to experience and absorb Kannon's energy by staying close to the temple. Furthermore, it is believed that just one day of worship on July 10th counts as 46,000 days of merit.
Also, since I will be departing from Haneda Airport the next day, I preferred a place with good access to the airport. While it is a 20-minute walk to Senso-ji Temple, I won’t be staying long, and this place is more reasonably priced compared to other hotels. You can access Haneda from Asakusa Station via Ueno Station.
I did not explore the surrounding area this time, so I am not familiar with the restaurants near the hotel.
